Jon is currently on a 6 month trip. The money is sitting there just fine.....weather and injury has been against us as the bolts donated by the BMC are supposed to be for both of the Cornices and this is just a guess but i'm thinking they're both pretty grim?

[account_inactive]

How about getting the ball rolling with a re-bolt of Zeke?

[Ru]

Where is the PBF drill at the moment? Was thinking of rebolting and doing Culloden this week. Have any bolts been bought? Also, maybe Zeke if I get time.

[Paul B]

With Kristian , someone from the BMC rang me on friday and said he'd arrange to drop the donated bolts off over the weekend. As of yet i've heard nothing but if you drop me a pm with your number ru i'll give you a ring a.s.a.p.

[corniceman]

Ru. If you get hold of it are you likely to be in Millersdale on Sat morning. I would like to rebolt Mecca extension which was missed last time Christian rebolted RT. I'll be out Sat am till mid afternoon.

Plans are for the Tor Sat am.

[dave]

Is Arch Enemies down Dovedale on the list? 

[JC]

I'll get around to doing it sometime in the near future, its just gonna be a bloody tiring job!  I want to do it next year anyway. Any idea on current conditions? If its dry at the moment then i would be keen to do it asap.

[dpb]

Cool.  No idea what its like at the mo, not been down that way for a while.  If it would help to have a second person let me know when n I'll see if I can get the day off (not before the new year).  Good work down Chee Dale the other day!!

[yorkshirewarcry]

Bolts on Whose Line is it Anyway looking very old and shabby.  When clipping a draw onto the 4th bolt, as I knocked the biner against the rusty hexagonal bolt-head a piece sheared off...eek.  The hangers look OK. 

[dobbin]

Has anyone considered sorting out jehovakill?

[a dense loner]

For anyone who's interested in a challenge.
I did 'Ouijaboard' on the cornice yesterday and thought it to be one of the best 8a's I've done on Peak Lime. Given the necessary upgrade and a rack of new bolts this will deservedly become very popular. The bolts at present are 'very poor' (I was actually quite worried, an outward force could easily shear the threads on some) which is a shame - anyone who accepts the re-pin challenge can count on a wad from me. All the old bolts are in pretty good clipping positions except the third which could do with moving down 12" to help onsighters. Go to it locals.
As an aside, how come a route like this gets missed when all the 8a+'s have been resined?
Oh, and Theoria still needs the go-over despite recent ticks on the old 8mm sleeves.

[Bonjoy]

Because Jon Clark only has one set of hands and (almost) all the other locals would appear to be lazy fuckers, happy to wait for others to do the hard work for them. 

[uptown]

It would be nice to see his good work continued whilst he's out of the country. Anyone?

[uptown]

I notice you did ouijaboard recently Jon. Does that mean it's been re-equipped and I can carry out my promise of a wad point, or did you think the old bolts were ok?

[Bonjoy]

No, the bolts are still really bad. Probably the worst on the crag (except for maybe on crap routes that never get attention). Needs sorting really. I've got the kit if anyone's got the time.

[kc]

It would appear that the reequipping has ground to a halt this year.
We can put that down to a few points:

Last year’s 2 most active bolters have gone road tripping or given up climbing (temporarily I  hope). A lot of the obvious classics have been done already and willing volunteers have not been inducted into the dark art. We need not say what the main reason is though DO WE 

In a vain attempt to keep the stone rolling I would like people to at least suggest routes that still need attention. Let’s create a list:
Cry of Despair and the odd one on Roof warrior
Armistice Day needs  doing properly
The Egyptian Bizarre 
42 (on second thoughts don’t bother)
Butterflies
Lightweight & 7 pounds
Any more….                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
The shit season is upon us now so I suspect all this will be forgotten when the masses return in the spring.

Put me down for a few on the Cornice this winter. Have a drill now.

What's the score with the new 16mm bolts, glue and drill bits Jon ?

[Ru]

Retro All my Pegs in One Basket.

[Johnny Brown]

I've got a big bag of bolts that the BMC have donated, for re-equiping only of course. If anyone needs any send me a PM.

Abracadabseil's pull tester is also available to borrow if anyone wants.

Does this come with glue and loan of drill bit?

[nai]

I think Cry Of Despair has been done.  The fourth looks a bit rusty but I think most people skip it anyway.  I clipped it rather than fifth and it held me though.

Unbelievable. You people. Do you think the BMC is some kinf of charity?
